Comment on "seasonal variation in wind speed and sea state from global satellite measurements"

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: In a recent paper, Sandwell and Agreen [1984; hereafter SA] presented figures of global seasonal wind speed and sea state as measured by the GEOS 3 satellite altimeter. Since that time, Chelton and McCabe [1985; hereafter CM] have found that problems exist in the algorithms used to retrieve wind speed...

Central California Coastal Circulation Study : CTD observations, cruise 8403, July 1984

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B. and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: CTD observations were made over the continental shelf and upper continental slope from the coast to approximately 60 km off central California between latitudes 34°N and 37.5°N. The measurements were made by Raytheon Service Company as part of the Central California Coastal Circulation Study sponsored by the Minerals Management Service....

Large-scale sea surface temperature variability from satellite and shipboard measurements

Creator:: Berstein, R. L. and Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: A series of satellite sea surface temperature (SST) intercomparison workshops were conducted under NASA sponsorship at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Three different satellite data sets were compared with each other, with routinely collected ship data, and with climatology for the months of November 1979, December 1981, March 1982, and July...

Evaluation of Unambiguous Vector Winds from the Seasat Scatterometer

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B., Freilich, Michael H., and Johnson, Jerry R.
Abstract:: Ambiguity in wind direction has long been an impediment to applications of wind observations from the Seasat scatterometer (SASS). Three months of unambiguous global SASS vector winds (7 July-10 October 1978) have recently become available from the Goddard Space Flight Center(GSFC) Laboratory for Atmospheric Sciences. The directional ambiguities were removed...

A review of satellite altimeter measurement of sea surface wind speed: With a proposed new algorithm

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B. and McCabe, Patrick J.
Abstract:: The scheduled February 1985 launch of a radar altimeter aboard the U.S. Navy satellite Geosat has motivated an in-depth investigation of wind speed retrieval from satellite altimeters. The accuracy of sea surface wind speed estimated by the Seasat altimeter is examined by comparison with wind speed estimated by the Seasat...

Seasonal variability of alongshore geostrophic velocity off central California

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: Seasonal variability of alongshore geostrophic velocity relative to 500 dbar is examined from 23 years of hydrographic data along two sections off central California (one off Point Sur and the other off Point Conception). The seasonal cycles are determined by least square fits of the gappy data records to harmonics...

Observing large-scale temporal variablity of ocean currents by satellite altimetry : with application to the Antarctic circumpolar current

Creator:: Fu, Lee-Lueng and Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: A new method is developed for studying large-scale temporal variability of ocean currents from satellite altimetric sea level measurements at intersections (crossovers) of ascending and descending orbit ground tracks. Using this method, sea level time series can be constructed from crossover sea level differences in small sample areas where altimetric...

Further development of an improved altimeter wind speed algorithm

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B. and Wentz, Frank J.
Abstract:: A previous altimeter wind speed retrieval algorithm was developed on the basis of wind speeds in the the limited range from about 4 to 14 ms¯¹. In this paper, we use a new approach which gives a wind speed model function applicable over the range 0 to 21 ms¯¹. The...

Poleward flow off central California during the spring and summer of 1981 and 1984

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B., Bratkovich, Alan W., Bernstein, Robert L., and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: Currents and winds measured over the continental shelf and upper continental slope during the first half of 1984 are analyzed to determine the character of the flow off central California (Point Conception to San Francisco). The mean flow was poleward from Point Conception to Point Sur, in opposition to the...

Ocean signals in tide guage records

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B. and Enfield, David B.
Abstract:: Tide gauges are designed to measure changes in water level relative to land. However, vertical motions of the earth's crust manifest themselves as apparent water level changes in tide gauge records. These crustally induced changes are often small in amplitude relative to the wide range of oceanic processes which affect...

Production of global sea surface temperature fields for the jet propulsion laboratory workshop comparisons

Creator:: Hilland, Jeffrey E., Chelton, Dudley B., and Njoku, Eni G.
Abstract:: Sea surface temperature (SST) is measured from space by advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR), scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR), high resolution infrared sounder (HIRS) and VISSR atmospheric sounder (VAS). Typical accuraces have been reported from 0.5°C regionally to 2.0°C on a global basis. To evaluate the accuracy of the...

Central California Coastal Circulation Study : drifter observations, February, July, October 1984 and January 1985

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: Surface drifters were depldyed and tracked over the continental shelf and upper continental slope off central California between Point Conception and Point Sur. The drifters were deployed and tracked from aircraft by Aero-Marine Surveys, Inc. under subcontract to Raytheon Service Company as part of the Central California Coastal Circulation Study...

Organization of persistent upwelling structures : hydrographic observations, 5 April-10 May 1983. Vol. 2

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B., Paluszkiewicz, Theresa, Chandler, William, and Atkinson, Larry P.
Abstract:: The area near Point Arguello has long been recognized as a location of strong upwelling. A tongue of biologically active waters was observed in the earliest studies of this region (Sverdrup and Allen, 1939). More recently, satellite estimates of chlorophyll by the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) on Nimbus-7 have...
